Adding a 3 season room to your home will become an economical additional space. By extending the area of your living space with a 3 season room, you add value to your home without breaking the bank. Below are a few topics to think about going into your new project.

Window Preference:

UV protection windows are a great choice if you are conscious of your skin health

Tinted windows are nice to shade from the sun and also reduce glare

Interchangeable glass and screen panels can be swapped during the warmer months

Roofing Options:

A pitched roof with 1-2 skylights brightens up the area

High ceilings make it feel roomier

You can match it to the existing roof or even opt for energy star shingles

If you are into that rustic feel, a barn house plank design can mesh with your style

Flooring Choice:

Deck tiles are an economical choice and can be made to look like any material that matches your style

Wood flooring will be more expensive than the wood-tile counter part, but the wood won’t be worn down by mother nature in a 3 season room

If you are building up on an existing deck, make sure the rest of the structure is up to code to withstand the new weight

Say yes to the fan:

An outdoor ceiling fan will allow additional air flow during the heat spikes of the day

Keeping costs for electricity low with a fan rather than using air conditioning

Cheers to social gatherings:

This room is a great place to have tea, coffee, beer, or sangria with family and friends

You can enjoy the outdoor views and temperature without your guests getting eaten by insects

What is the actual cost?

For a properly managed project, a 3 season room can range from $30,000 to $80,000

The price reflects that all work is done to code and completed by a licensed contractor

The types of material you would like and the size of the space are the main cost adjusters

Price is altered by labor intensive costs for demolition, footings, additions, or site prep

Saving Money:

With a 3 season room you do not have the costs associated with insulation, heating, air conditioning, or a foundation

During the winter it can be used as a second fridge or freezer!

Adding on a 3 season room to your home will likely become your favorite home investment. The space can be constructed faster than a four season room and if, down the line, you would like to convert it to a four season room it would be possible. Plan now to get your project rolling in the late winter to be ready for the Spring time!
